MCP: Instagram Creator & Influencer Marketing Intel

AI-agent (MCP) wrapper around instagram-creator-intel. Gives Claude / GPT / LangChain / Cursor agents five tools to vet influencers from public Instagram (+ TikTok/YouTube) profiles - engagement rate, audience-quality / fake-follower estimate, and cross-platform reach - with no Meta App Review. x402 (USDC on Base) + Skyfire ready for token-less agentic payments.

How it works

This actor is a thin MCP server over the upstream instagram-creator-intel actor. Each tool call invokes the upstream actor and reshapes its dataset into small, deterministic JSON an agent can consume directly. Upstream PPE events (creator_record, engagement_analysis, audience_quality_flag) pass through to the same run.

Modes

Mode	What it does
list_tools (default)	Emit the MCP tool catalog + the agentic-payment descriptor. Free.
call_tool	Invoke one tool (tool + args).
batch	Invoke a list of {tool, args} calls (max 10).

Tools

Tool	Purpose
get_creator_profile	Public profile + recent posts + engagement analysis for a creator.
analyze_engagement	Just the engagement layer (rate, cadence, top content, benchmark).
check_audience_quality	Fake-follower / audience-credibility estimate with explained flags.
compare_creators	Rank a set of creators by engagement + credibility (roster selection).
cross_platform_lookup	One creator across Instagram + TikTok + YouTube with combined reach.

Call it

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("seibs.co/mcp-instagram-creator-intel").call(run_input={
    "mode": "call_tool",
    "tool": "check_audience_quality",
    "args": {"creator": "@natgeo", "platforms": ["instagram"]}
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

Run mode=list_tools first to see every tool's JSON-schema for its args.

Agentic payments (x402 + Skyfire)

The tool catalog advertises an agentic-payment descriptor. When the operator enables MCP monetization and sets the env opt-ins (X402_ENABLED, X402_PAY_TO_ADDRESS, SKYFIRE_ENABLED, SKYFIRE_SELLER_ID), AI agents can pay per tool call with no pre-provisioned token.

Connect it to an MCP client

This Actor is exposed as a remote MCP tool through Apify's hosted MCP server. Point any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, or an OpenAI / LangChain / LlamaIndex agent) at Apify's server with this Actor enabled:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=seibs.co/mcp-instagram-creator-intel",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" }
    }
  }
}

Get a token (free) from Apify Console -> Settings -> API & Integrations. The Actor then appears as a callable tool. Run mode=list_tools first (free) to fetch every tool's live JSON schema, then call one:

{ "mode": "call_tool", "tool": "get_creator_profile", "args": { } }

Prefer a direct call? Hit the Actor straight through the Apify API / SDK - no MCP client required:

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("seibs.co/mcp-instagram-creator-intel").call(run_input={
    "mode": "call_tool", "tool": "get_creator_profile", "args": {},
})
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items

Pricing

Flat $0.005 per MCP tool call + the upstream instagram-creator-intel PPE pass-through (creator_record $0.006, engagement_analysis $0.010, audience_quality_flag $0.015). A run that returns nothing costs nothing.
